lle it known that l;

oit the United l? tes oi erica.l residat Port lluroinin tlfe county idrato et lllifhiggran.,` havefinvented cer# 'in ners,v andfuseztullm ovements yinl-lose ifolloxvii'ig 'is a? specifica-y tion, reference boing had thereii'i tothe ac- Afonnaanying drawings. 1 n 7 This invention relates Lto a hose reel and my invention aims to'provide a portable reel that may be easily carriedirom one place to another and mounted toa so that the :hose onthe reel maybe easily and quickly connected. tothe faucet to re'- ceii'e water therefrom, and the reel is supported so that be withdrawn purposes. v y

My invention 'further aims to provide a hose rec-l made of structural steel `or other metal which is comparatively light and easy srom the reel torV `Watering to assemble7 the'reel embodying an axialconnection by which a hose convolution may be easily connected to a l'aucet or Water supply device and permit ot other portions ci? the hose being used, 1

The construction entering into my invention Will be hereinafter described and then claimed, and reference will `now be had to the drawing wherein v Figure 1 is a side elevation of the hose reel; y i

Fig. 2 is a perspective view lot one ot the wall brackets adapted for supporting the hose reel;

Fig. 3 broken away and partly in section., and

Fig. 4 shows detail sectional views et stuing boxes or axial connections for the hose reel.

the triangular shaped 'feet l and with these y feet connected by the bars 5A there will be a substantial basefor the hose reel when the bail l is in a vertical position on the ground.

The upper most bar is adapted to be placed behind thehook-shaped member l' of Wall brackets 8, there being two such faucet desired length oit hose mayA is a plan o1c thevhose reel partly y lnackets in spaced relation attached to a Wall 9 adjacent a taucet l0. Vlith the Wall brackets 3 firmly attached to the` 'Wall 9 the bars 5 mav rest against said brackets and be suspended from the hook shaped members-T.

with the arms and f ot thelnail'extending outwardly ina horizontal plane at a right angle the Wall 9, as shown in l. n

Un the arm 1s a bearing llfor a solid nintle memberk l2 which' has its outer end soA provided with a suitable crank or handle' 13 f so that the pintlemay be rotated.-

` ,Un the arm fil in alignment with the bearing ll is a bearing or stuiiing box 14 for a M se connected to dished metallic heads ll' ivhi n are preferablycircular in elevation.

krthe headsl? are necessarily in spaced relation and the peripheral edges 7of said heads are connected by ll-`shaped hose supporting ar 18 equally spaced between and about said liieads; The armslS aford 'transverse supporting members about Whicha hose 19 mayxbe'wound and the ends otsaid arms project outwardly from the peripheral edges of the heads l? and permit or a large amount of hose beingstcred on the reel7 Without any danger koit' the convolutions ot the'hoselbecoming accidentally displaced; u

The bearing or stufling box lelwhich receives the tubular pintle l5 has an elbowT gland 20 connected to the stutiingbox lst by screws 2l or other fastening means, and the pintle l5 extends intofthe gland with asuit- `able packing 22 held about the pintle Within the stuffing box by the gland.` rllhe pintle therefore turns in the gland Well as in the stu'liing bei; consequently there is a long bearing for thisparticular pintle which may be thoroughly packed to prevent leakage 4at 'this axial connection of the reel.

The inner end ofy the hollonT pintle l5 `is connected tol an inner or end convolution ot outer endet' the elbow gland 20 is connected f bv a cou line' member '24e to a short sectionk i .il Y 'olf hose 25, said hose being suitably coupled to the faucet l0, that there Will be a supply oi Water to the hoser 19 vwhen the faucet l() is turned on.` i

With the hose reel' in lthe position shown in Fig. l, the hoseis ready to be used and a desired. length may be withdrawn from the reelfor Watering purposesvand a'lfter. using the hose itmay be re-wound on'the reel by have peripheral `flanges'1G riveted or the hose 19 by a coupling member andthe f turning the crank i3. Since the reel is elevatecl the hose will drain es it is Wound on the reel and the reel ma. f remain 1n eno'aee ment with the brackets" 8 and coupled to the faucet l0 for future use, or it may loere-4 inoved from the brackets, disconnected the faucet or the coupling member 24e, and usefl at otherV places.

From the foregoing it will be observerl that the hose reel can be made of malleable inetel bent to shape end easily aseei'nblefl. The heads 17 of the reel be of sheet metal, enel other fittings or pieces` of herrl- Wfire :nale eth1-ues, especially those Jerte receiving \\:ee.ry The reel in its entirety will be finished so as not to corrocle, and While in the drawing there is illustrated et preferredL embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that the structurel eleinents are Susceptible to Such changes in size, shape unil manner Iof assemblage es fell Within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention,

,what l claim is :h

1. A hose reel comprising e bail of a configuration adepte@ for either attachment to e Wall in a. horizontal position or to rest on the ground in a Vertical position, pintles supported by salici bail with one of seul pintles hollow and adapted to communicate with i faucet, beetle carried by said pintles, and arms 'solely connecting; said heads and extending radially therefrom und adapted to Support convolutions of e, hose of greater diameter than Seid heads with one end of the hose connected to the hollow pintle.

2. lliecoinbination with a hose reel, of e bail iliade of e single piece of material bent to provide parallel bfi-re hai/*ing rianguler bracket-sliepeii ende adapted to be supported from e Wall adjacent :i faucet, and pintles supporting said hose reel in` Said bail with one of said pintles hollow for communication with the faucet und en en( of the hose on the reel.

l. The combination set forth in claim 2 and bers conneetingthe bracket endsk of said bail and contributing to the suspension of Soviel bail from a Well.

ln testimony whereof l iny signature in presence of two Witnesses.
